Seattle snow day!

At least 12 inches where I live. Made it to work on time, walked in the back door and was told they were shutting down. I was one of 6 people. ...Spent half hr uncovering my vehicle this morning. Good times.

I am gonna have a “spa day” at home this morning then take a walk to the river to take some photographs. The trees look epic! Still snowing too.

Hot buttered rum(s) are next on the agenda. Cheers!

(Because I always am the first).

Had two patients show up so far, and have had four no-shows.

Hoping for a relaxing day.

I hope all my patients are at the shelter, staying warm...

I was extra careful getting here today. The clinic is at the top of the steepest hill in Tacoma. Rather than risk an accident trying to drive up the hill from the bottom, I just took the long way around, skirting the downtown area, and coming to the clinic from the south, where there is no hill to negotiate.

I plan to go home the same way...

Luckily we don't have to go anywhere. I've seen a few folks out walking in our hilly neighborhood but no road traffic but I'm on a quiet street. I'm glad we filled the bird feeder yesterday as it looks like a good day to stare out the window.

Seattle proper says 6”. But still way more than they usually get.
I live east closer to Snoqualmie pass. Higher elevation.

Then again if we get a lot our a lot is suppose to be 3 inches. For those of you in Seattle who have to drive today and go up those wretched hills you be careful....do not want to hear about wrecked DUers. I know there are parts of Tacoma that can be bad also so you all be careful to.
